PADDLE-FINDER

The first step to find the best paddle for you is to define its range of use. Next, narrow down the models according to your paddling style and physique. Based on the width of your kayak and your size you finally choose the correct length of your paddle.

If you’re paddling a high angle technique, choose a shorter and wider blade. When you’re more into low angle paddling, choose a rather longer and slimmer blade. In general, smaller paddlers pick smaller blades, taller and powerfully built paddlers pick large blades.

WIDE AND SHORT ~

For streams and whitewater

Shorter and wider blades. Made for a high angle paddling technique, pulling the paddle close along the boat. Perfectly suitable for all-round kayaks.

LONG AND SLIM ~

For the sea and open waters

Longer and slim blades for low angle paddling techniques. Made for sea kayaking and touring on open waters.

Medium Sized

~

For inland lakes and larger rivers

These blades can be used both in high angle and low angle technique and offer good propulsion. Suitable for touring-, all-rounders- and seakayaks.

Length Chart

The product description of your desired paddle tells you in which lengths it is available. All paddles in fixed length come with a 45° right feather angle as a standard. Left feather angle on demand.

Bent Shaft

Some of our Whitewater- and Touring paddles are also available with a wrist-gentle, neutral and superlight carbon bent-shaft.

FIND YOUR LENGHT ~

The opposite chart serves as a guideline for touring and seakayak paddles. We recommend a paddle with adjustable PaddLock shaft, to enable you to change the length and angle according to your requirements.

PADDLOCK

All of our touring-paddles with 29 mm-shaft are also available with the PaddLock-system. Their length is steplessly adjustable in a range of 10 cm; the feather angle of the blades can be adjusted freely. Small pack size, perfect for transporting.

HYDRA Blade size: 48 x 20 cm // Length: A & PaddLock // Weight: from 940 g (Glass), from 840 g (Carbon)

Lightweight touring- and seakayak paddle with large sized, stiff blades. For powerful paddlers it offers an optimized power transmission, a variety of different paddle strokes is possible. Works very well with high angle technique. Smaller blade size in the works.

SPRAYDECKS & COCKPIT COVERS

During paddling, a spraydeck protects your torso and your legs from water dripping down or swashing waves and keeps the inside of the boat dry. The hatch cover protects the inside of the kayak during transport or storage. It further reduces the wind resistance and the road noise and saves fuel during transport. During storage, the inside of the kayak always remains dry and clean, dirt and vermin stay outside. We offer spraydecks and hatch covers in three different materials.

Neoprene Flex Nylon

• For continuous operation on rivers, lakes and the sea

• Stays on the cockpit in any case, even in choppy waters or when doing an Eskimo-roll

• Very flexible, will fit on various cockpits

• Basic spraydecks for touring on domestic waterways

• Protects against spray and rain

• Holds well on the boat

• New colors black/orange and black/grey plus some in red

• Very stretchable

• Superlight

• Small pack size

• Very good hold on the cockpit

• Resilience to wear is a bit lower than the neoprene
